Tank = 60l (fully cycled with ammonia) 120l cycling
Hi,
I treated my cherry barbs with Interpet anti internal bacteria number 9 as they had symptoms of this (2 died before the treatment, 2 have survived since the treatment). I put the treatment in the 60l tank on monday on the advice of my lfs and by the next day they looked much better. Unfortunately on wednesday morning i noticed white spots on both fish. I went back to the lfs and got a white spot treatment and aquarium salt and added an air filter and 2 teaspoons of salt(1 a day). They did say that i cant use the treatment for 7 days and increase temperature slowly but today they looked a bit worse so i did a 50% water change, they are just hanging behind a rock not moving much. My question if it would be safe to add the treatment tomorrow even though it hasn't been a full week or would that be worse than leaving them. Can they survive a whole week with itch?
Thanks
